Read full description

PillPaw is the shared pet medication tracker that ends the "double-dose panic." Whether you are managing a simple monthly preventative, a short-term antibiotic, or daily life-saving pills, PillPaw keeps your whole household synced. When one caregiver logs a dose, the whole household sees it instantly. No more frantic "did you already give it?" texts or missed doses. SEE TODAY'S STATUS AT A GLANCE No more guessing or texting. One shared family schedule shows exactly which medications are pending and which have been completed. The moment a dose is logged, it crosses off for everyone, showing exactly who did it and when so you never double up. ALARMS THAT ACTUALLY KEEP YOU ACCOUNTABLE Say goodbye to silently swiped-away reminders. When a dose is due, our smart alerts will persistently repeat until someone in the household opens the app and actually completes or skips the task. REFILLS THAT ACTUALLY MATCH YOUR BOTTLE COUNT Pets spit out pills, and medications get ruined. If you have to skip a dose and throw the pill away, PillPaw accounts for the waste. Your remaining pill count stays accurate, and the app warns you to call the vet before you run low. A DETAILED MEDICAL HISTORY FOR YOUR VET Ditch the guesswork at the clinic. Easily export a 30-day PDF report of completion timestamps, weight changes, and logged symptoms that your vet can review at your next visit. SYNC YOUR WHOLE HOUSEHOLD Keep your spouse, kids, roommates, or weekend pet sitters perfectly synced. Invite caregivers to your pet's profile so everyone can coordinate care and attribute doses without sharing password logins. PILLPAW PLUS (optional subscription) Unlimited pets, adherence trends, condition charts, and vet-ready summaries. PillPaw Plus is $4.99/month or $29.99/year, with a 7-day free trial. - Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation - Auto-renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel anytime in your App Store settings PillPaw is a general tracking tool and is not a substitute for veterinary advice.
